#13 - Thriving Forward: Emily’s Fight for Justice Against IBLP and Bill Gothard - Part Two

Today we’re continuing our conversation with Emily Elizabeth Anderson, a Christian blogger, and activist for people who have experienced abuse within a Christian environment. If you haven’t listened to Part One, we highly recommend going back to hear Emily’s story from the beginning. Emily shared with us her experience growing up as a member of the non-denominational organization, the Institute in Basic Life Principles. She shared with us her challenges with her home abuse, diagnosis with Chrone’s disease, and her experiences meeting the organization’s leader, Bill Gothard. In today’s episode, Emily will walk us through her experience as a plaintiff in the lawsuit against Gothard, leaving IBLP, and her journey towards recovery.This episode includes topics on physical and sexual abuse and other mature themes, so listener discretion is advised.
